How can I "Isolate" DCS Signal though ROSS Ready #175 Double Crossover???

Hello,

I have two "loops" of Ross sectional track.

One is 072,the 2nd mainline is 054.

 

They are both running into my Ross Ready #175 Double Crossover.

I can only get action on one track or the other,and have not been able to run 2 MTH trains at once independently of each other.

The second track always reads "Engine not on track",or a couple times it read the second engine,I moved engine one,on track one,and got engine two to move 1 foot on track 2!!!,then engine 2(054)will shut down,when engine1(072)blows whistle or bell???

 I love this Ross DoubleX over,and do not want to have to take it off the layout,to be able to have both tracks "live and running",responding to thier own seperate commands.

 I heard Barry said on The Notch 6 podcast that you must isolate each block,so I guess I am calling track 1 a block,and track 2 a block!!

It seems that the crossover is sending the same signal to both tracks,how can I correct this??Is there a way without taking the crossover off the layout??

My guess is that it can be done WITH THE XOVER.

Need advice and want to know where to get the cutoff wheel out,and where to cut those center rails to Isolate them.

Or is that the wrong approach or idea?

Should I use plastic pins or toothpicks??

It is what I am ready to try next,but I thought I'd ask the DCS GURUS before I go chopping that Ross work of art up!!!

Thanks in advance-Kenny
